3D Tracking and After Effects Compositing
Overview
Learn how to use 3D tracking data to add 3D objects to a 2D shot in After Effects. Speed up your workflow by setting up your 3D scene once and using it for all of your shots.
Whether you're working with a team or on your own, understanding how to efficiently use 3D tracking information in compositing can help you speed up your workflow. In this course, learn how to use 3D tracking data to add 3D objects to a 2D shot in Adobe After Effects. Brian Morse shows how to export your cameras to Maya and After Effects from SynthEyes, and explains how to set up your 3D scene once and use it for all of your shots. He also demonstrates how to render your final project so that all of the composites work fluidly.
